My workplace is in Richmond and they have parking but I don't own a car and am looking into buying one. However I am in ethical limbo because I think a car for a single individual is somewhat environmentally irresponsible. So I'm confused where to go with this and wondering if there is any viable option. BTW how did you guys get to Langley for the WordCamp then? I hear you loud and clear!

I own a car, and I agree. Commuting into or around the city by car for work is impractical, so I too commute by bus. I can't WAIT until the Canada Line is complete; my commute time will be cut it half and my neighborhood will be less congested by the construction, too. Heh. I own a car, and I agree.

If it's not the parking, it's also the break-in potential...having had my car(s) broken into a couple of times over the years, I know that few places are immune from having it happen. I can't wait until there is a decent skytrain route from out here in the burbs directly downtown....will make things much easier.

It was SO stressful! Poor guy. I feel so sorry for him because every Sunday night he drives me anywhere I want. It's a bit unfair. But I totally hear you on this one. It's like - @#$% where is the damn parking! I drove JT’s car today all day. It was SO stressful! Poor guy. I feel so sorry for him because every Sunday night he drives me anywhere I want.
